on the 1841 census his occupation is given as M.S could this be military soldier?

In the 1841 census 'M. S.' stands for 'Male Servant'.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
